With walls of the deepest blue

I'm on Spring break now for a week. However, I still have a paper to write and a few things to do for class ...so it's not like I've got nothing to do. I got my Mythology story back, a B (because I didn't do an outline) with 'well written' marked on it and nothing else. And My English teacher lost my in class essay, but later e-mailed me to me that

I have a similar problem with hanging out with people. I don't know if it's the hanging out or the... being around people that I'm saying no to. I remember reading once about how people with OCD - I'm going somewhere with this, promise - find pleasure/happiness when they indulge in their obsessions and compulsions, but that it's a... sort of an unhealthy happiness. like when you, idk, take drugs. sure, you feel great, but you're on drugs.

MY POINT is that I'm totally happy by myself, I'm generally happier alone than I am with people unless it's, say, a convention, btw but I don't know if that's a healthy kind of happiness.

... I'm not sure what the overall point of this comment was, though. I guess as long as you don't hide in the basement and live in squalor, preferring your own company isn't bad.

So...if I extrapolate: If I'm social phobic, it's possible I get an unhealthy kick out of avoiding people? Idk, I suppose it's possible. I get what you mean, though. I think there's a certain sort of peace that comes from just doing things by myself that I can't get around people. Every event falls into place with ease because I'm directing the entire thing. Which...probably is unhealthy, yes.

Yeah, I have no idea where I was going with that. I think maybe I mean... like, it's okay for me to prefer my own company, but I don't know if I want to be like that. I want to hang out with people but at the same time I really don't.

let's just start Hermits United and get together every ten years, that'll solve my problems.
